"no comfortable areas to sit"
J Singh (United Kingdom)
Disappointing - felt the lounge in the old terminal was better. In the T3 lounge no comfortable areas to sit - tip go to the furthest end of the lounge in front of the kids area as its quieter there if you need to rest. A very confusing lounge - certainly not a business lounge at all more like a waiting room with free food - which costs you the price of a business ticket!

"long waits food disappointing"
Isabel Pritchard (United Kingdom)
Very disappointing. Difficult to find somewhere to sit chairs not comfortable for long waits food disappointing - I am not into stew and casserole type dishes at 6am not very much on offer only muffins. As with other parts of the airport only hot water dispensed from taps in rest rooms had to go and get bottled water so that I could clean my teeth. Some serious thought needs to be given to the layout and service.

"spacious clean bright well air-conditioned"
M Spratley (United Kingdom)
It was spacious clean bright well air-conditioned with ample seating a wide choice of good quality food and drink and helpful staff. It is vast and if people take the trouble to walk beyond the initial seating area they will find ample seating at both tables and of the armchair variety. During the 8 hours we spent there (from 6.30am - 2.30pm) we sat in a section of the lounge (approximately 30 arm-chairs and a 'cafeteria' area of approx 100 chairs) with only 4 other people.

"enjoy quality pre-flight ambience"
Graham Clark (United Kingdom)
Very impressed with Lounge facilities food/drink presentation and Staff. Makes for a great start for a long flight when you can relax and enjoy quality pre-flight ambience. This was our introduction to Emirates and we were very pleased with the experience. Have since tried other Lounges in Dubai and Paris and would rate the Brisbane Lounge as the best.

"go back to the old lounges"
Brent Anderson (United Kingdom)
I have been in terrible lounges in some terrible airports that are quieter and better laid out than Emirates Terminal 3 lounge. I have on some occasions chosen not to even use the facilities as they are so poor. I take the walk and go back to the old lounges in the older terminal. At least it is quieter and does not have a hundred people queuing for every service.

"quite spacious with lots of seating options"
Anthony Stekelenburg (United Kingdom)
The lounge is combined F & C class and quite spacious with lots of seating options. A warm welcome by staff at the front desk. Lots of food options as well as Champagne. Bathrooms were clean and tidy. One downer is that there are no windows but this is the way AKL airport is set out. When ready for boarding we were escorted to the gate and the airbridge to the upper deck. A very nice experience.

"a nice and cosy lounge"
Anthony Stekelenburg (United Kingdom)
A nice and cosy lounge similar to AKL but with windows. Morning departure so I didn't sample the booze but the espresso was excellent. A lot of reading materials staff friendly and welcoming and escorted us to the gate when boarding. Is it just me or are the Emirates Ground Staff doing a better job than their cabin crew.

"an excellent lounge"
Keith Wiggins (United Kingdom)
An excellent lounge every bit the equal of Emirates lounge at Gatwick. If anything the food quality was marginally superior to Gatwick.

"noisy and stuffy"
M Mainwaring (United Kingdom)
A badly designed linear cafeteria which is noisy and stuffy. There appears to be a deliberate attempt to minimise the amount of comfortable seating. As for the showers there aren't enough of them for the volume of passengers and the water is limited to a trickle. The old lounge was marginally better than the new one. Compared to the Emirates lounge in Gatwick and Singapore this Dubai lounge is a disgrace.

"dreadful place"
M Powell (United Kingdom)
Dreadful place. arrived at 5am to find people sleeping across comfortable seats covered with blankets. I complained about this to a security guard and he said they shouldn't be doing it and he would wake them up. Joke. About an hour later I went to the desk and told the girls that this was unacceptable and they again said it was not allowed. But I pointed to one chap who was in their line of vision who had been sprawled out when we arrived and he was still there. They said they would go round and wake them up. We left to board an hour later and he and others were still asleep. My neighbour complained about this happening a month ago and got a reply from customer services saying this sleeping across seats was going to be stopped. Obviously has not. Where have all the people come from who now use this lounge?
